Topic: flac error w/24bit (24/88.2) files ???

[dueling]

Having some issues trying to encode 24bit files to flac.  This was recorded V3>iPAQ at 24/88.2, and then tracked out in CDWave.  Anyone have a clue what these errors mean and what I can do to fix this?  I am using the latest version of flac fronteand v1.1.2a.  Thanks in advance for the help.

Here is the error I am getting:

i bet you dont have sufficient space available on your HD

[scb]

has anyone tried 88.2 files before?

flac doesn't like 192 files unless you specify the -lax option.  do you have to do this for 88.2 as well?

I thought this might be an issue, but wasn't sure.  The deck has had recent 24/96 issues, so it was run in 24/88.2 for this show.

I have close to 13.8GB free.. so that shouldn't be an issue.

EDIT: you guys may be right that flac doesn't like the 88.2 sample rate.. I just resampled the file to 24/48 and flac encoded it just fine.  so does flac frontend only work for 44.1, 48 or 96???  I didn't realize that, if that is in fact true.

[scb]

you can compress it via command line flac with the -lax option

nice! glad it got resolved

Could someone tell me exactly what the commands lines are for encoding/decoding 24/88.2 files?  I'm lost without the frontend.

From http://flac.sourceforge.net/documentation.html#flac - the options are listed on this page.

Encoding: flac [<general-options>] [<format-options>] [<encoding options>] [inputfile [...]]
Decoding: flac -d [<general-options>] [<format-options>] [<decoding options>] [FLACfile [...]]

saw that, but still couldn't get it to work.  was hoping someone who has done it before could just post the command lines with the proper options included.
